FEATURES OF "FOUR DEVILS."
Extras who garved as spectators In the circus scenes of "4 Devils," F. W. Murnau's latest picture, now playing at the Queen's Theatre, were doubly entertained. They enjoyed both a human circus and
mechanical circus and they were paid for it!
They were treated to thrills by Janet Gaynor, Charles Morton, Nancy Norton and Burry Norton, who play the title roles in the pro- duction. These youngsters all had been trained by experts to perform evolutions on the trapeze,

A Tip.
Fur and Velvet.
SOME AFTERNOON FASHIONS.
Fur is used lavishly on after- noon frocks and two-pieces, u fashion illustrated many times over in designs by Maison Arthur. Skirts are longer, and sometimes reach the ankles.
Black pony skin is used as a deep border for a suit in fine cloth of a pinky-fuwn colour.
The short coat, collared, of course, with the pony skin, has the slightly draped effect seen in so many evening coats of this length, and alones to the back, where it has. a rounded hem.

Patou's black flat crope ever ning gown was chosen by Tobe, New York stylist, in her recent Fashion Forum, as the evening gown most like- ly to set formal fashions for American women this year.
Unusual points of this model are its princess cut, its clever godet train, its cowl, back which blouses charmingly, its uneven all-around length and its full lower edge.
